Oooh! I love to travel the world, too!
Congrats on your recent good news. May it be followed by a very long string of even more good news!
Me? When I was 6 I wanted to be a scientist. I had a microscope and a chemistry set and I began reading the encyclopedia. Yeah, I was a lot of fun.
Happy ICLW! I love Hugh Laurie too!
I really liked reading your answers ! I would have said the same thing for many of those questions.
Hi Marisa. Congratulations on your BFP!! How exciting! Are you due in January too? Oh and by the way, sweet and salty together is about my favorite thing in the world...can you say chocolate covered pretzels???? Yummmmmm
Thanks for commenting on my blog and for the NPH singing suggestion. I will definitely checkout Dr Horrible's Sing along Blog. Congrats on the good news too.
You're about to walk the green mile, what do you have as your last meal?
Steak and Lobster with a side of steamed asparagus spears, and wild rice. For dessert molten lava chocolate cake with vanilla bean ice cream and chocolate sauce with raspberries along the bottom of the cake.
Can you tell I'm hungry?
Thank you for stopping by my blog. Congrats on the pregnancy! Its so awesome that it happened naturally why you were taking a break from treatment.
Happy ICLW!(#64)
Nice to meet you! I love that questionnaire, I might use it (if that's ok) Congrats on your BFP!!
If you could visit anywhere in the world where would you want to go?
I would visit Italy, China, England, France, anywhere in S.America...(its a long list)
Just found your blog, just started blogging myself, and I'm new to the whole ICLW community...
Congrats on the good news. Take it easy. Nice to "meet you" via your list.
Collect - I collect 2 main things: purses, and Winnie the Pooh items (preferably pre 1960s when Disney bought exclusive rights).
Tattoos or piercings - I have a needle phobia, but I always wanted my ears pierced. My friend, when I was 18, took me to get them pierced; and, after the first ear was done and I was ready to bolt, talked me into having to get the other ear done as well (thankfully). I lived in Samoa for 2 years and wanted a traditional tattoo, but my husband talked me out of it.
Congratulations!
What do you usually think about right before falling asleep?
I count backwards from 1000 - I've been doing it for years.
Congrats on your pregnancy!
I confess to being a packrat as well. I'll save things for a long time then go through a massive purge and wonder why I kept all that crap for so long!
CONGRATS on your pregnancy! That is so exciting. I love hearing stories about women getting pregnant while on a break from treatment. It gives me hope for a "surprise". I can't wait to hear about your pregnancy!!
Happy ICLW!

It was great getting to know a bit more about you!! I love to travel as well though I think that I will be home for a little bit!!
Hope everything is going well with the pregnancy!
Great answers. I used to love JEM too! I can relate to your personality traits. I have travelled to several places but have many more countries I would like to visit like France and Ireland. I also do not like to talk in the morning.
Happy ICLW
How exciting about your pregnancy. Congratulations.
Congrats on your pregnancy! Wow, you guys sure do get around!
'You're given 1 million dollars, what do you spend it on?'
I would spend every penny researching a cure for Zellweger Syndrome.
If I could change one thing it would be health issues. happy ICLW!!
Congratulations on your upcoming little one! Stories like yours always inspire me.
I just had to point out that I loved JEM (I still even remember some of the songs!), and I've been wanting to learn flamenco for a while too! I'm curious about the German apple juice - I'm kind of sucker for all things German.
I'm going to remember that list and post it up sometime myself! Have a great week!

Yes, I love traveling as well.Planning a trip to Ireland in a few months. I also watch Dr Who with my husband!
Happy ICLW!! Congratulations!!! That is awesome!
As for answering one of the questions: Have I ever wished I was the opposite sex? My answer is YES!! Every 28-35 days I wish with every heartbeat that I'd been born a boy! I (sometimes) hate being a girl! :-)

I am such a pack rat too, but once or twice a year I do a deep clean and purge it all. I also love to travel the world. Now you get to travel the world with a baby in a hiking backpack! So exciting! Congrats!

Oddly enough, in my next life I would like to be a guy. Women do to much housework.
Love the muppets.
And sexy legs. Definitely.
Love this list of yours, I feel like I have an idea about who you are. :)

What an interesting quiz, and congratulations on the BFP!
I'm with ya every Saturday night. On my sofa eating air popped popcorn and digging every moment.
